I P Knightley Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 7 hours ago, Malinga the Swinga said: Absolute bollocks. Mixed with people from all classes and there were just as many self entitled wankers amongst working/middle class folk as so called upper class ones Also took kids from all types of school for training at hockey. Kids from Merchiston Castle and Loretto mixed in with kids from local Edinburgh schools. The privately educated ones were no different to public school kids. Treat them the same and they respond the same. There a website (name escapes me) where, mainly girls write up accounts of harassment and/or assault they've experienced from schoolboys. Most of them name the schools the boys go to. Fee- paying schools are hugely disproportionately over-represented in the comments compared to state schools. I'm sure that's not a statistically robust observation but it certainly suggests that those schools breed that extra sense of entitlement and nastiness. When I looked at the site, it seemed to be predominantly London and the South East where the gulf between state schools and private is greater than in Edinburgh.

Find it hard to believe some schools breed a sense of entitlement towards sexual assault ; and if it were a true geographial reflection, with private schools being worse, Edinburgh schools should be top of the list. 25% of Edinburgh pupils attend private schools - much higher than anywhere else in the UK. The assualt cases I'm aware over recent yrs - I can easier associate with "lad " culture.. and this isn't necessariliy linked to one type of education system.

A Boy Named Crow Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 The rapey private schoolboys thing has been a story here (Sydney) for a while. There seems to be something about the way they train the students to believe they are masters of the universe that has the unintended consequence of making them treat women (and homeless people, whole other story...) like utter shit.

This is why I said the gulf between state and fee-paying is wider outwith Edinburgh. School fees down here are substantially higher than schools like Heriot's, Watson's and Hairy Foreskins, meaning that the families sending the kids to Edinburgh fee-paying schools are not as "elite". The sense of entitlement I refer to is general. Kids are indulged enormously and have that "I see what I want and I'll take it" attitude. It's not necessarily the schools that breed it per se (look at me all talking Latin like a posh 'un ) but you get gatherings of these indulged and self-entitled people anywhere and they'll droop to the lowest common denominator. "Everyone's Talking" - that's the website name. I'm a school governor and spent time reading through it to see what was going on and whether my school featured. I'm glad I did as it was quite eye-opening about how teenage boys are perceived to behave, particularly in packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean now about the gulf between state & private being sharper in the south-east, on an elitist scale, Very true. Also witness the Insta-driven "I see what I want" and I'll have it; bling culture, with my kids, on an almost daily basis. Not sure the school class system makes sexual abuse culture more prevalent though. Maybe in the rugby lads 😔 . Out of interest IP - you governor to one of them fancy posh schools ?

The defence allege that she gave different accounts to the FBI than what she just testified in court, her reply was "I don't recall". In other words it appears that she can't remember what she told the FBI just two years ago, that's not a good sign. https://news.sky.com/story/ghislaine-maxwell-trial-accuser-rejects-claim-she-came-up-with-memory-involving-epstein-sexual-abuse-12483977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heid in the sand, hope it blows over. She's not refusing to testify, she's "too fragile" to testify whatever that's supposed to mean. She can make it into court, but can't even speak? Apparently due to the same "inhumane conditions" everybody else in the prison is enduring but who can still all talk when they go to court. Amazing how a few charges can physically debilitate the wealthy. Reminds of me of Weinstein who during his court procedure was suddenly so fragile he couldn't even walk without a walking frame.

I was wondering about that. I'm not exactly an expert on what goes on in US courts, but that sounds like the standard phrase I'd expect somebody to use if they weren't going to testify in their own defence.

JFK-1 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 In my opinion the defence has produced absolutely nothing to prove her innocent. Declaring that every one of the witnesses has "false memory syndrome" is pretty ludicrous. I could declare that in almost any trial, couldn't I? Would it be accepted as sufficient to clear anybody when there's multiple witnesses telling pretty much the same story? And from a personal viewpoint no way am I going to tell a jury i'm so obviously innocent I don't need to testify for you, with nothing but these scatter gun claims of false memory syndrome to support it. If I were innocent you wouldn't be able to shut me up. She's going down then the real business will start. Once she has decades of jail time in front of her I can guarantee she will find her voice.

There is a strong case against her, and if this were anybody else for example someone not so high profile I doubt anybody would be disputing it's a strong case. They're saying nothing about the evidence. All they're doing is claiming she will walk due to a conspiracy. Which would have to include the jury. While the best the defence have produced to counter it all is a claim that everybody who accuses her, all of them, just by coincidence, have false memory syndrome. That's about as thin a defence as I have ever seen with such high stakes. Or maybe not, I just thought of the farcical OJ Simpson trial. Obviously guilty, as she is, but he had a loaded jury that wouldn't have convicted him with video of the murders. She has nothing like that going for her.

I said earlier in the thread that she is a very smart woman indeed, and that if anybody could wriggle out of this I would bet on her. I simply see no way out of this for anybody. Unless the jury pulls an OJ Simpson like stunt and lets her go despite the evidence being strongly against her. But how likely is that? Simpson had a jury containing just one white and this jury were hand picked as such by the defence to do what they did. It was a race thing which was maddening to me at the time when he walked away clearly guilty. Now almost 3 decades down the line with reflection I can see that on some level the black community perhaps needed to turn the tables so to speak. Just once deliver the type of result they had seen white juries return on whites who had murdered blacks countless times. Show them what it feels like. And looks like. I have only scanned reports on her trial but have seen nothing from the defence to negate the overall accusation that she was enabling and feeding an abuser. I feel her petulance about not testifying is perhaps resignation rather than arrogance. She's smart, she has to know this isn't looking good for her.

Spellczech Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 She clearly loved Epstein and he maybe loved her for a while but then realised that he loved that she loved him and that he loved them younger...I think she enabled him, out of love and a lifestyle he offered, and the sheer arrogance of her privileged upbringing blinds her to the immorality of what she's done. She sold these girls the same lifestyle treats that he offered her and she probably thought they enjoyed his attentions as much as she did. She probably had to also offer additional entreaties such as sponsorship of their future aspirations...A small extra enticement in her opinion but quit significant from all of ours, as this was the entrapment... The only question is whether what she did was also illegal. I would hope yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
